Tag Archives: Eratosthenes’ Sieve

This week in 6EK, we have been investigating different number patterns and sequences.

Some things we have focused on include:

Factors

Prime Numbers

Counting Numbers

Square Numbers

Fibonacci Sequence

Pascal’s Triangle

Triangular Numbers

We investigated Prime Numbers using Eratosthenes’ Sieve (pronounced AIR-a-TOSS-the-knees). This lesson was very interesting where students were able to make connections between Prime Numbers and Factors using Eratosthenes’ Sieve.

We also investigated Pascal’s Triangle and how it linked to other Number patterns/ sequences that included counting numbers, triangular numbers, doubling and factors (PLUS many more including Tetrahedral Numbers).

Questions:

Explain one of the Number Patterns/Sequences that we have investigated this week?
